I'll start! There was a lot of absolutist rhetoric there that said things along the lines of "All Christians are terrible, horrible, no good, very bad people!" I think a little nuance is in order, no?

there's a tricky balance of moderating intolerance and welcoming open conversations

Where does not tolerating religiously motivated hatred and intolerance fit into that framework?

I would classify that as harmfulness that should not be tolerated. However only at an appropriate level of generalization.

Articles about an individual going extremist should be met with disappointment in the individual, and disappointment in a system that would foster that extremism. But to call the whole religion a group of extremists would be too far.

When religion is used to strip away civil rights, I don't think those actions deserve tolerance. Those actions are supported by large populations who were indoctrinated by their regional religion with mythologies that promise a happy afterlife if the members follow their leaders. Efforts to limit education and crticial thinking are used to avoid followers from realising the grift for what it is.

I realise the above is a generalisation, but they are real concerns of mine. At what point is tolerance just complacence?
